Hi @vincehi! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The refetch method on useSession is only available in the React client. In non-React clients (like Svelte, Solid, or Vue), useSession returns a reactive store or accessor with session data and status flags (such as isPending, isRefetching, error), but does not expose a refetch function. This is by design—these frameworks expect session updates to propagate through their own reactive/store mechanisms, not through an explicit refetch API. If you need to manually refresh session data in a non-React client, you may need to re-invoke useSession or use a framework-specific pattern, such as calling useSession with a fetch function in Nuxt/Vue contexts (docs, code).

To reply, just mention @dosu.

No, the answer is not satisfactory. A refetch method is missing in all other non-react clients

I ran into this too and found the refetch does actually exist for the useSession hook; it just hasn't been correctly added to the types.

For the time being I'm adding a @ts-expect-error comment:

// +page.svelte
const session = authClient.useSession();

function someFunction() {
  // @ts-expect-error
  await $session.refetch?.();
}

The optional chaining is just to be on the safe side. You could also probably manually cast the returned type of useSession.

This PR should do the trick once it is merged: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/4367
